About Iva

I am a very outgoing individual that enjoy caring for my elders, I have that Southern Hospitality that just can't be taught. Cosmetology and Culinary Arts attracted me to becoming a caregiver and knowing that I can offer just a bit more to someone's day is so special. Being able to interact and find solutions to problems is the most rewarding aspect of companionship to me. The biggest joy I experience from being a care provider is knowing that I can provide a nice nutritional home cooked meal for the patient, The most personal achievement I have accomplished in this profession is being awarded by several families on the respect and manners I have for the patient, the family,and the household.

What I like most about being a caregiver is the opportunity it provides to take care of people that are in need of my assistance.

In my opinion, a great caregiver is dedicated, compassionate, attentive, and generous. Because I possess these qualities and others, I believe that I am an outstanding caregiver with extensive experience. I was my mother's caregivers after she became ill in 1995, and even after she passed away the following year, I felt that this field was my calling. The most rewarding part of my profession is making others smile. Laughter is one of the best therapies, and I use it to engage my clients. The achievement I am most proud of is becoming an advocate for domestic violence victims.
